Criticism of ‘With gray hair and crazy’: The happy life of Diane Keaton

The actress once again demonstrates her ability to face the passage of time and laugh at herself in this comedy.

    Anyone who has felt ‘old-young’ will be reflected in this film by actress and director Katie Aselton, where a 30-year-old girl wishes to be old, because that’s how she feels, and she gets it. It is not the first time we see a comedy body-swap about age jumps, from ‘Big’ (Penny Marshall, 1988) to ‘The dream of my life’ (Gary Winick, 2004), but ‘Con canas ya lo loco’ adjusts the formula to the advantages and disadvantages of reaching third age. What it offers is a fable of fantastic overtones with a timeless moral: never be afraid to be yourself.

    With a somewhat weak conflict – the only thing the protagonist wants is to buy second-hand clothes and wear sandals with socks, is that too much to ask for? – that tries to put the spotlight on the culture of Instagram and the pressure for aesthetic canons, the film knows how to rely on its best weapon: Diane Keaton. Whether wearing her own wardrobe or struggling in a pilates class, the actress manages to save an uninspired script based on many gestures and pure charisma.

    For those who enjoy comedies with a moral and without pretensions

    ​

    Best: Diane Keaton using a pilates machine.

    The worst: it is not deep enough, funny enough or absurd enough to stand out.
